My
country has become a frightening place to live. Not just the obvious that all
of you see- Guantanamo- the surveillance- the endless wars – but it’s the other
things that are not quite as visible to the outside world- the dumbing down of the American people that started with Reagan more than thirty years ago- cutting education funding and
social benefits. It was a rare sight when I was a teenager to see anyone on the
street begging for food and money- now it is a rare sight to go more than 100
feet in almost every city in this country and not see people begging for food
and money. More than two and a half million people are in prisons in this
country- far too many of them are not guilty of the crimes that landed them in
prison but because our justice system is so corrupt people end up pleading
guilty for crimes they did not commit because of the fear of the sentence if
they are found guilty. The quest to convict and to maintain those convictions by
our police and by our prosecutors has turned the police and prosecutors into
criminals- hiding evidence- hiding witnesses- lying to the courts.

This
brings me to the person who should be hailed as an American Patriot-Edward Snowden-
when I saw that his legal counsel was none other than former Spanish Judge
Baltasar Garzon I just smiled. As tough a battle as this is and will be-Snowden
is in good hands. Snowden unveiled- for the world to see- my government’s
illegal activities on a grand scale. My government is not only involved in
illegal activity on U.S. soil but around the globe. My government is the
traitor against the people of the United States and the world and to hide its
own illegal activities it has gone viral over the whistleblower. So Mr. Snowden, thank you for your sacrifice.
I hope it is not in vein.

ONE NATION....UNDER SURVEILLANC

NO PLACE TO HIDE

Probably the most important book of 2014 as it gives a comprehensive look at the extent this country of mine has creeped into the bedrooms of all of us across the world-and the importance of hero EDWARD SNOWDEN- in risking his freedom to let all of us know. What we do with that knowledge will say alot about all of us...

WAR CRIMINALS WATCH

Ron Suskind's "The Way of the World"

If you have not read Ron's book then you do not have the whole story about what I have been doing to try to get my clients out ofGuantanamo. Ron kept up with my activities and even followed me around on occasion to get the full story... then he weaved my story in with the stories of other individuals who are concerned with the direction of the United States. I recommend the book to all of you out there who also care about the direction that the US has gone these past eight years and want to work to change things.
